The Certified Energy Manager (CEM®) accreditation is one of the most respected in the field of energy management with international recognition from the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE). Since 1981, over 30,000 professionals from over 100 countries have participated in AEE’s CEM® program.

The program is ISO IEC 17024 accredited by Entidad Nacional de Acreditación (ENAC) and American National Standards Institute (ANSI,) and is also a U.S. Department of Energy Better Buildings Workforce Guidelines Recognized Program. It is also accredited by leading organizations worldwide. Since its inception in 1981, the CEM® certification program has demonstrated its validity year after year. CEMs optimize the energy performance of a facility, building, or industrial plant. They work as systems integrator for electrical, mechanical, process, and building infrastructure, analyzing the optimum solutions to reduce energy consumption in a cost-effective approach.

CEMs are often team leaders and help to develop and implement their organizations’ energy management strategies. CEMs have gained increased recognition within the energy industry and by companies looking to strengthen their competitive position by having responsible energy strategies and sustainable operational practices.

CEM® training program provides in-depth knowledge of principles, practices and technologies needed to enhance the energy performance of buildings. After completing this preparatory training, attendees are required to pass a proctored exam to be eligible to receive the CEM® certification.
